The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "There will be no Barr body in female suffering from:", we need to understand the concept of Barr bodies and the conditions that affect their presence. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Barr Bodies**: - Barr bodies are inactivated X chromosomes found in females. In typical females, who have two X chromosomes, one X chromosome is active while the other is inactivated and forms a Barr body. 2. **Counting Barr Bodies**: - The number of Barr bodies in a female is calculated as the total number of X chromosomes minus one. Therefore, if a female has two X chromosomes, she will have one Barr body (2 - 1 = 1). 3. **Identifying Turner Syndrome**: - Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder where a female has only one X chromosome (45, X). Since there is only one X chromosome, there is no second X chromosome to inactivate, which means there will be no Barr body present. 4. **Analyzing Other Conditions**: - **Klinefelter Syndrome**: This condition affects males who have an extra X chromosome (47, XXY). Males with Klinefelter syndrome would have one Barr body (2 X chromosomes - 1 = 1). - **Down Syndrome**: This is caused by an extra chromosome 21 and does not directly affect the number of X chromosomes, so females with Down syndrome would still have Barr bodies. - **Hemophilia**: This is a genetic disorder related to the X chromosome but does not affect the number of X chromosomes in females, so they would still have Barr bodies. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the only condition where there would be no Barr body in females is Turner syndrome. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Turner syndrome**. ---
